Prompted by poses struck by candidates for the Republican nomination for governor, the Hartford Business Journal asked its readers recently: “Can Connecticut realistically eliminate the state income tax and produce a balanced state budget?” Two-thirds of the readers who responded answered no.

I agree with you. The Democrats want to keep perpetrating this cycle of people “needing” the government. This way they can make the government bigger and BIGGER with the budget deficits to match. I honestly don’t know when personal accountability went completely out the window, but the Democrats seem to have thrown it out, blown it up and launched it completely into outer space.
On what planet does this make sense? A dozen plus teenagers TRESSPASS in a FENCED IN, LOCKED UP POOL, that is CLEARLY POSTED “NO SWIMMING AFTER DUSK” – a teen tragically drowns and IMMEDIATELY the Democratic lawmakers in Hartford along with the teen’s family point the finger at the city because a camera monitor was not working to alert police at the time of the drowning. Hmmm? Where were the PARENTS that did not know where their 16 year old child was until 2:00 am when his friends came looking for him? What about those DOZEN PLUS FRIENDS that just RAN AWAY and LEFT their FRIEND behind? I hope the city DOES investigate this, and get ALL the facts. Bottom line – unless the city dropped him in that pool, it is not the city’s fault.

If I decide to warm up MY CAR in MY DRIVEWAY and someone decides to steal it – it is THEIR FAULT, not mine! If the Democrats in this state don’t want to discipline the teens that are doing it then discipline the parents. Why do we have all these laws and this HUGE bureaucracy if nobody wants to enforce the laws we have? The only reason Democrats pass laws is to make themselves feel better and create bigger government and deficits. Period.
